Sathya_nars... I actually met him at car shringar, when he was loading up his SX4. Within few secs of intro, we started talking about teamBhp! and Intel actually came in pretty late in the conversation.

So is Ajmat the AMD CEO?!?!?

I'm sorry that information is classified. It will put the mission under jeopardy.

Pictures either tonight, or tomorrow. God promise. At the airport now, possibly as soon as I reach home, otherwise tomorrow.

All right, lets see the photos you took. And no, dont tell me that Sam's putting them up on your behalf.

Great meet that also doubled as a birthday jam for Rudra Sir.

Dinner and drinks was fun!

As the others have mentioned - AMD has infiltrated Intel at the highest level. Im proud to have met the corporate worlds' most elite espionage agent.

We had a LOT of laughs over dinner (c3p0 (read sapo) chicken, boogle soup).

Also I learnt that if a car is to perform on the drag strip there has to be an endless supply of Red Bull + Reserva

Well, we are waiting for the pics & more importantly the captions.

Sam Kapasi · 8th August 2007, 15:48

Since I'm a little busy, this is going to be short report and only 10 pics at a time. I am sorry, forgive me

Timings are relative and I may be off by an hour or 2. lol.

20.10: I'm half naked at home and who should I see at the door but pawan and viddy. I was surprised to see them. They looked suprised to see my bare chest.
I go down and there's little Mclaren, all smily and round. I haven't seen him in a while. We hug and his abhishek like stubble brushes against my navel. Ah sweet love.

20.30: We reach the museum inn. Sathya_nars is waiting downstairs in a bright blue shirt, grinning like a kid. He has a colleague for company. It must be strange to explain to a colleague how he's going to meet a bunch of old friends he's never met.

20.35: The birthday boy arrives, with his bag on his back. Smiling and grinning as always. It is such a pleasure to see Rudra. We decide to go upstairs while Mclaren parks at Mysore Palace and comes back walking.

20.45: Soon, El Condor Pasa and it's a party. We place our orders and everyone starts chatting excitedly.

Soon the drinks arrive. Cheers!!!

Everyone's drinks arrive except viddy's. He decides to stare at Mclaren's drink till Mclaren feels sick and his stomach starts coming out. Little does he know that it was out before his beady bespectacled eyes glared at the drink. More on that later.

20.45: Ajmat arrives and everyone is very happy to see him. Rudra looks like he hasn't slept in years, but actually he's wide awake and quite happy.

Mclaren and Sam strike a happy pose. Vogue.

2110: Soon arrives the Mag. He looks like he's had a hard day. Soon he has a pleasant end to his difficult day. Rudra discusses the mag's pills.

2130: Now arriveth the psycho man and C3PO. C3PO declares his intention to eat till he bursts. Psycho is used to such declarations from this boy and just shrugs his good natured shrug and smiles his good natured smile.
Ajmat is afraid that v1p3r will burst all over him, from over eating. He cringes his cringe, thinking if C3PO ever opened a company, it's tag line would be "Lots of food inside"

v1p3r insists that everyone admire his football tee-shirt. He insists I take a picture and post for all the fans. I do so with pleasure. Incredible and intense pleasure.

2145: Every now and then I pop my new camera out and take pictures. Soon The Mag decides to take 2 pictures. He promises us that the results will be breathtaking. Nobody believes him. Notice how everyone is laughing at him while he shoots.

That's all for now folks! Back to work! More later.
